In my book in progress i have to deal with the situation where my readers may use the INgramSpark/LSI cover layout feature (an excellent template BTW.) Jast for testin I recently created a cover template from LSI jut for research purposes. The one major flaw in the LSI template is the placement of the barcode block on cover four. It is centered in the bottom of the page, but most publishers prefer another position closer to the spine.
Starting with the same cover file template I opened it in Inkscape. I could click and drag the block with no other fussing. Using Scribus 1.5.0 I could either call for the template on the command line or open it using the file menu "open". I could still move the barcode block. Using 1.5.1 I had to hit "ungroup" twice to free up the barcode block for movement. Is this difference between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 in handling pdf files deliberate? If so I will note this difference in my new book. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
